Horus Heresy 2e Review: Expurgator Cadre

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3.5/5 stars. Rounded up - just. A very reasonable entry for the final unit in the Sisters of Silence army list.

Background.
Purge with fire. Keep the knowledge of what you did secret. Or, you know, take to the open field with those heavy flamers. 

Strengths.
This is the equivalent of a heavy weapons squad for the Sisters of Silence. There are four main options, the default heavy flamers (reasonable enough), adrathic destructors (excellent), snare cannons (okay, but you should take the other options for the slot), and Vratine missile launchers (good). Take some compression tanks for the heavy flamers if needed and you have a nice squad that can be taken for a ride in an Acquisitor to get into position for a solid turn of firepower output. 

Weaknesses.
T=3.

Builds.
Expurgator x5, Heavy Flamers with Compression Tanks, Mistress with Power Sword (120 points).
Take a transport and go flame some stuff.

Expurgator x5, All with Missile Launchers, Augury Scanner (170 points).
A backfield unit. 

Expurgator x5, All with Adrathic Destructors, Mistress with Power Sword (195 points).
This will need a transport but is massively effective when you get in range to shoot. Yes, this unit is expensive, but it is worth it when you get to blast things.
